Answers about CaesarStone…
At Paramount Granite Company we pride ourselves on the fact that we specialize in the fabrication of natural stone products, including granite, marble, onyx, limestone, travertine, soapstone, and slate.
While natural stone products offer unique, interesting and unmatchable characteristics, there are customers who are interested in the consistent look of an engineered quartz 
product, and for those customers we offer CaesarStone, the “original quartz-based engineered stone.” CaesarStone is comprised of 93% quartz, polymer resins, and pigment. There are 40 colors to select from, you can view them on their website.
As far as pricing, Caesarstone is priced out slightly higher than the Top-50 colors, (granite) that PGC offers. For some additional information on the differences between a natural stone product and engineered products check out, Education Is Key When Selling Natural Countertops.
If you have additional questions or would like a bid, please contact our customer service department.

Hi Angie
I am a sucker for all natural stone. One great thing about natural stone is that no two stones are alike, making every single kitchen one of a kind. A “original masterpiece” I like to say. There are many forms of natural stone that consumers can choose from: granite, marble, soapstone, slate and Jerusalem stone.
Considered second to diamonds in hardness, granite is the most popular choice. Granite is chosen for durability and its rich composition of quartz crystals, mica, and feldspar trapped within. With granite, consumers don’t have to be afraid of placing a hot pot on the countertop due to its heat resistance, and shouln’t fear of scratching it, since only granite or diamond can scratch the surface. Granite is also resistant to the acidic products found in every kitchen. Because all stones are porous, a special sealant is required. Granite only needs to be resealed once a year.

Natural stone is always a win win situation.
Granite and marble are a natural product formed in the earth under pressure for millions of years, thus, unlike some artificially made materials, it cannot be reproduced. Granite and marble have a shinier surface that cannot be achieved by any man made product.
Stone increases the value of your home, is durable and functional, and it increases the enjoyment you get from your home.
